What’s All The Fuss About?

There are a large number of New Psychoactive Substances (NPS); here are a few key facts:

Legal does not mean that they are safe to take!

Risks include the reduction of inhibitions, drowsiness, excited or paranoid states, coma, seizures and death

Risks are increased if used with alcohol or other drugs

They have similar health risks to drugs like Cocaine, Ecstasy and Speed

They are easily accessible to young people

It is likely that NPS may actually contain one or more substances that are actually illegal to possess. What you may think is a legal psychoactive substance could be something completely different, and in fact a class B drug.
